Chapter 156: The Decisive Battle (5)

However, except for the fierce fighting on the southern battlefield, most of the men and horses in the entire battalion did not go up to do it. Only the sound of killing could be heard in the distance, and the rebel soldiers seemed to be a little agitated.

The sun is gradually approaching the horizon of the plains.

Even the generals around Yang Qi looked very irritable with their expressions. They looked at Yang Qi from time to time, staring at the flickering swords and sword shadows and the rising dust under the hillside from time to time.

In this battle, at first glance, it seems that the officers and troops of Yandu City took the initiative to attack the rebel army, but in fact, it was the officers and troops of the rebel army who took the initiative to attack Yandu City. Now the rebels have been cowering on the slopes all day, waiting for the officers and troops to attack, which is indeed a bit strange.

Yang Qi stood beside the war horse, looked back to the left and right, and finally spoke: "You have followed me in many battles, and you have always defeated the enemy army in one battle. However, the strength of the two sides was almost the same, and the number of officers and troops in Yandu City was three times that of our army, and it was usually easier to defend than to attack. So I chose to defend here, and I didn't move first, just to take advantage of Du Chunfeng. ”

After hearing this, the generals all looked sideways, but they didn't say anything.

Yang Qi continued: "However, the results of defense are also very small, after all, if you succeed, you can only remain undefeated, and you can defeat the opponent if you can't defend it. You have to fight back! ”

When the generals heard this, they gradually became more vigorous and began to talk about it. There are also people who ask Ying to be the striker, wanting to condescendingly attack the main force of the official army of Yandu City under the hillside.

Unexpectedly, Yang Qi turned his head to look at the scene below the mountain for a while, but he still did not give the order to attack. He looked intently at the large array on the plain, and muttered: "Wait a little longer, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, and now the official army is the second charge......

As he spoke, the sun on the plains set on the horizon.

The roaring boulders stopped. Standing on the high ground, you can faintly see that the men and horses behind the large array of officers and soldiers are gradually moving westward.

Yang Qi immediately held the horse's back, stepped on the stirrup with one foot, turned his head and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum, give orders to the whole army, the time for a decisive battle has come!" Victory or defeat in one fell swoop! ”

"Order!" The generals roared in unison.

There was an uproar all around, and many of the sitting, crouching rebels stood up. The shouts of the generals could be heard everywhere, and the formations began to form.

"Knock, knock, knock......" The loud sound of a big drum outside the barracks of the army spread in all directions. As the sun sets, the plains become more enthusiastic.

The setting sun had set under the western plain, and the sky and the earth were hazy, and the red stripes on the helmets of the rebel soldiers rose and fell in patches, as if falling on the blood and boiling.

In the dim and white light, there was a whistling sound from time to time in front of me, and with a "boom", large stones fell to the ground.

On both sides of the array, many pine torches were also lit one after another, and the shouts and footsteps everywhere were very noisy, and the wilderness in the evening was still very noisy.

At this time, the brightness of the light is not as good as that of daytime, and it is not clear to see from a little distance, and the scenery becomes hazy. But people can still see the near world by the evening light and the moonlight in the sky.

As night fell, it was no longer suitable for the coordinated operation of the large phalanx, and the generals could not see the situation of the large phalanx clearly.

The forward army of Zhou Ping's commander ran in column pursuit, first engaging the enemy with a large array of officers and troops. Each column has turned into a phalanx of 100 households in 10 rows and 10 columns, and a number of 100 households have been placed in front of the official camp to launch an attack.

Behind Zhou Ping, the rebel army's large array of Chinese troops and tens of thousands of people carrying torches were like a vast and boundless sea of fire, slowly spreading westward like magma spreading from the underworld.

At this time, the war drums played in unison on the large array behind, and the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves roared rapidly on both wings, and the sound of drumming seemed to be beating on people's chests.

"Ahh......h Dense spears, swords, and shields stabbed each other on the front line, and countless tragic scenes were hidden in the hazy moonlight.

The arrows whistling in the air flew straight away, and the black shadows flickered in the moonlight, which was very terrifying.

The great formations of the two armies were already getting closer and closer. In such a situation, there is no longer any room for retreat! The army was approaching, and no famous general could organize a 100,000-strong retreat at night. Only the collapse of the whole army of one side can end, there is no other way!

Zhou Ping rode a horse and shuttled between the phalanxes of the hundred households, his voice was a little hoarse, and he shouted from time to time, "Our army is behind us, brothers, defeat in one fell swoop!" ”

Some generals echoed and shouted: "The brave wins!" ”

"Brave! Brave! In the midst of the fight, a shout rang out.

Zhou Ping saw that not far ahead, an enemy phalanx was in chaos and was breaking behind. Several hundred-hundred- He immediately clapped his horse and shouted, "The battalions will obey the order, and when you stop your advance, you will attack with bows and crossbows in the spot." ”

"Order!"

When he heard the response, he immediately turned his horse's head and came to the vicinity of the second line phalanx, and shouted: "Where will this camp be?" ”

Soon several horsemen rushed over and shouted, "The last general!" ”

Zhou Ping pointed forward with a knife: "Forward, attack the enemy army in front!" ”

"Order!"

These phalanxes in the back maintain a position similar to the word "pin" with the front; The second phalanx advances directly, and you can walk from between the front phalanxes to the front. And the teams in front of the army, which had just routed some of the enemy troops, could get a little respite.

The total strength of the officers and troops may exceed 100,000, and there is a distance between the various formations. A rout in one place is not enough to tell the winner.

In less than a moment, the battlefield in front of him was rapidly changing, and the situation was becoming more and more complicated. Some of the infantry formations of the rebel army have already entered the main formation of the official army, while the other side has counterattacked with men and horses. The scene is simply intertwined and chaotic.

Even the military order is not good! Where the military order should be delivered, the herald will most likely not be able to find it at all. Zhou Ping only took a few horses, and on the front of the north and south, he made a decision on the spot, and ordered the generals in front of him to advance and retreat on the spot.

His mount had been replaced by two front and rear horses, and two broken arrows stuck in his shoulder armor, but he had no time to worry about being killed by stray arrows. In his heart, win or die, this is the best end of Rong Ma's career!

On the north side of the battlefield, on the right flank of the rebel army, a large group of men and horses holding torches gradually protruded from the "sea of fire" array and spread to the opposite side. The rebels launched a second round of a huge offensive!

…… The commander of the right-wing infantry was Li Wu. Deputy General Zhao Gong followed him like a shadow, and the two rode on horseback, and they had already been active on the flank of the middle striker Zhou Pingbu.

Seeing that the camp on the north side of the Guanjun army was unstable and was being defeated by Zhou Ping's infantry in many places, Li Wu did not wait to report to the commander, and he immediately ordered the right flank infantry to attack forward.

"Whoosh...... to the west is full of whistling feathered arrows, swords and shadows, and chaos everywhere.

As soon as the two armies met each other, chaos began to spread everywhere.
